Better than taking your stuff to the dump!…read more The Eco Station is GREAT for taking recycling your electronics, paints (they have a free pick up program), scrap metal (think trampoline or swing set), and large household furniture that is broken. They do their best to sort through it later so that it doesn't just fill up a landfill. The staff are always FRIENDLY - yes, totally they are - and helpful. Absolutely love this place. At times the line up can be quite long so you're better off going during the middle of the day. Fees are quite reasonable for disposal here and some items are free to leave here like electronics. Check out their website for all the details: http://www.edmonton.ca/programs_services/garbage_waste/eco-stations.aspx P.S. The website lists the other locations in the city, too!

Be warned, it might get busy with the wait times in the summer, as there are only two windows, and they are drive up. I liked the drive up process, as it's handy not having to empty out the car; super for large orders, or when you have kiddos with you. It's a smaller depot, but I liked it.

For those not familiar with eco stations, most things you bring in you don't get charged. Only of it's things they can't recycle or if it is plain garbage. For my case I didn't pay anything and can't good it wasn't going into the landfill. Friendly staff at this location and they all will ask enough questions to help get a person to the right areas/assist with unloading. Bins are decently spaced out for good flow of traffic and ease to pull up. Bin area and surrounding lot was well cleared of snow. The main centre yesterday was operating with one bay (#2) and still had numerous staff on hand to help unload and sort. As I was driving in, I noticed some great examples of upcycled Christmas cheer and I'm kicking myself for not taking more photos of the creative things like the tire Christmas tree. I do want to warn yelpers that this location has a very subtle entrance (you see a very clear large sign for the eco station but not at the entrance only at the curb along the street driving up to the actual entrance and less clear sign positioned further back indicating the entrance of the eco station roadway). It oddly has a much longer road than most to enter winding around the 1/2 the facility (assuming that's in order to help with summer higher traffic flow, as I've seen other stations back up with vehicles waiting on the main streets before but I mention this as one you turn in there's no getting back out until the official exit). I don't mind that bit of extra driving and as I was one of the few there, it was quick but I found it odd that a city facility doesn't have the road cleared within its fences but only the yard area of the bins. So definitely make sure you have winter tires to make it in and out of this facility area if you go during the colder months of the year. I also want to add that I didn't know there was a reuse centre at this location. Unfortunately I didn't know about it until exiting (when taking the photo), so I didn't ask about operation hours nor did staff mention if it was even open or that it was even there. Maybe it has different operating hours at the moment or is closed in winter? Maybe it's like the other reuse centres and not open yet? Who knows during the pandemic, as things can change so much in just a week. I'll be sure to investigate further on my next visit and report back.

It's an experience that makes me realize how privileged I am to be an Edmontonian!! *sniff* Anyhow, this Eco Station is a part of a futuristic mecca where conscientious citizens drop off recyclable, hazardous and/or reusable materials for little to no cost, cuz that's how we roll. Last time we dropped off a BBQ and picked up a patio chair. I also get the sense that this is a place for young people to get work experience and build their CVs. I am very happy my municipal taxes pay for a service like this. There's a Reuse centre onsite as well.
